Dear All,

I had this working on one of my virtual servers before, but now I
cannot get it to work. I am trying to get a CRON to run, but cannot
seem to make it work:

In my cronlist file I have:

MAILTO=3D"[email protected]"
0-60/2 * * * * /usr/home/nerdboy2/autofunct.sh

I want this to run every 2 minutes until I get it to work. Then it
will be once an hour.

In the autofunct.sh file I have this:

#!/usr/local/bin/tcsh=20
/usr/local/bin/virtual
/usr/local/etc/httpd/vhosts/lotto/webroot/cgi-bin/miva
/lotto/lib/autofunct.mv

I want to execute the file:
www.yourlottosite.com/lotto/lib/autofunct.mv

If I run from the TELNET Command Line the following: virtual
/usr/local/etc/httpd/vhosts/lotto/webroot/cgi-bin/miva
/lotto/lib/autofunct.mv

I get this on the screen:

/lotto/lib/util.mv: Line 765: MvSMTP: Runtime Error: Error
connecting to
'smtp.yourlottosite.com': 5.0.0 HELO requires domain address: Please
ensure tha
t Miva is able to determine the server's DNS name

But, if you run from the browser the following:
www.yourlottosite.com/lotto/lib/autofunct.mv, the script works OK.

Any suggestions?

I am not getting any indications at all from the server even while
watching TOP the CRON is doing anything at all.

Thank You,

Hi,
Could it be your browser sending an http host: header that miva uses to
determine the sender domain? If you use telnet, you certainly aren't
sending that header.

Jeff,

You have to set the 'virtualhostvariable' correctly. I describe all details
here:

Yes, if you're on a unix system, instead of calling Miva manually,
use a text-based web browser, so your cron job is like this if you're
on linux using a nice cron:

*/2 * * * * /usr/local/bin/lynx -dump
<A HREF ="http://www.yourlottosite.com/lotto/lib/autofunct.mv > /dev/null 2>&1">http://www.yourlottosite.com/lotto/lib/autofunct.mv > /dev/null 2>&1</A>

Wrap that into one line and you have a cron job that will run
every two minutes calling the 'lynx' text-based web browser
to retrieve the web page of your choice in a non-interactive
mode and the output of the job is set to /dev/null so you're
not bothered with it. If you're not using a nice cron, you'll
have to change that initial */2 into a 2,4,6,8,10,12... you
get the idea.

There are perl libraries, the wget program and other text-based
browsers that will do the same thing.
